We Made This Floor in Northville Look Stunning With Our Stone Sealing Process

February 20, 2025

Household cleaning got much harder for a couple in Northville after they stopped getting the desired results on their kitchen floor. They worked hard to remove all the stains, so the large stone surface still managed to look spotless, but the couple felt that some of its elegance was lost. The tiles didn't shine like they used to, and black spots could be seen in many parts of the grout.


After using the cleaners they were familiar with, the homeowners felt wary about trying new products and risking any damage to the stone, so they decided to look for a stone sealing service in Northville instead. They discovered Sir Grout Greater Detroit on their first online search and were delighted with all the information available about our services and success stories. The couple agreed to contact us right away, and our specialists called them back later that day.

As scheduled, our techs went to the clients' house for an in-home evaluation. Once inside the kitchen, they meticulously inspected the floor's stone surface. They also looked into the grout after noticing that the lines between the tiles were unsealed, which explained the dirt that was stuck on the pores. Our specialists explained that porous surface, like stone and grout, can attract many external elements when there is no sealant in place, on top of the side effects of soap-based cleaners.

Luckily, the owners had worked hard to preserve the beautiful surface, so most of it was spotless, with only a few marks on the grout. Our team knew that the floor needed a full cleaning and sealing service to meet the couple's standard, so they offered to return later that week to work on the surface after going over their findings with the clients.

So, at the couple's request, our experts returned to the house a few days later for the restoration. They started by cleaning the floor with a stone-safe formula and a high-speed scrubber that removed all traces of dirt. This winning combination allowed a quick process, and after a few minutes, our crew was ready to seal the grout.

For this part, they used Sir Grout's flagship ColorSeal, a powerful sealant that keeps the lines protected against various external elements, including grime, soil, and food residue. It's also available in multiple colors, so our techs could easily replicate the grout's original color while making the lines look more vibrant.

Then, they got ready to provide the same protection on the stone tiles. Our experts carefully applied stone sealant to the entire floor, making sure to cover all parts of the floor. This way, the stone could keep its natural beauty through all regular kitchen activities, and the owners would have no trouble making it shine at the end of their household chores.

The result looked stunning, and the couple couldn't be happier. They praised our restoration process and thanked our specialists for their work before promising to spread the word about Sir Grout Greater Detroit. Now, they could truly showcase the elegance of their kitchen area.

Here are our recommendations to preserve the beauty of natural stone against the effects of wear and tear. As our specialists told the couple, the ingredients in traditional cleaners are often the cause of discoloration, and they don't even guarantee a thorough job when it comes to removing embedded dirt. That's why we always recommend pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Without subjecting stone surfaces to harsh treatment, our product provides maximum cleaning power to eliminate all the stains, including the marks caused by spills and foot traffic. It's also free of toxic fumes, so you don't have to worry about contaminating your kitchen while you go about your chores.

Our second pointer is to avoid steel wools and other abrasive tools since they do a subpar job at removing all the dirt that usually gathers on high-traffic surfaces. More importantly, sharp tools may scratch the stone, so you could have a bigger problem on your hands if that's all you use while scrubbing your floors. At the end of their visit, our techs told the clients to use a mop, a towel, or a terry cloth when cleaning the kitchen floor.

To prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and other effects of moisture buildup, we recommend keeping the area properly ventilated throughout the day. More often than not, kitchen surfaces get enough fresh air to stay hygienic, but it still helps to open the windows throughout the day if you want the place to look comfortable and fresh.  

Your kitchen surfaces deserve the best care so they can look picture-perfect at all times of the day. The specialists at Sir Grout Greater Detroit know how to make it happen, with amazing hard surface restoration services to help you preserve the beauty of your stone and grout surfaces.
